Opportunity

Shape the future of at-homewellnesswhere water hardware firmware and environment come together torestore recover and re-energize.

As a SeniorStaff Embedded Systems Engineer you will turn emerging technologies into realphysical experiences systems that can be felt not just described. You willdefine architecture build working solutions and prove performance in theenvironments where it matters most. This is a role for a hands-on leader whocreates momentum through action bringing Kohlers vision for elevated dailyrituals to life.

CoreResponsibilities

• Lead by doing. Define systemrequirements design build test and refine working hardware and firmwarefrom first concept through validation creating tangible wellness experiencesthat perform in the real world.
• Define system robust end-to-end embedded systems that unify electronics firmwaresensing and controls with water steam thermal lighting and air. Establishscalable platforms that enable consistent elevated experiences acrossproducts.
• Engineer systems that are and develop integrated hardware (PCBAs control systems sensornetworks and electro-mechanical interfaces) that deliver comfort precisionand reliability in demanding bathroom environments.
• Own electronics execution. Leadschematic design PCB layout component strategy and bring-up drivinghardware from concept into validated production-ready systems.
• Design for real-world solutions that perform under heat humidity and water exposure balancingdurability safety and long-term reliability through strong engineeringfundamentals.
• Integrate firmware with intent. Ensureresponsive intuitive control translating hardware capability into seamlessuser experience.
• Prototype the experience. Buildearly and test often using hands-on iteration to validate not only functionbut how the system restores relaxes and performs.
• Prove feasibility. Bring clarity toambiguity defining requirements identifying risks and validating solutionsthrough structured testing tolerance analysis and costed execution plans.
• Drive manufacturability. Translatecomplex systems into scalable buildable solutions aligned with suppliercapability and production realities.
• Protect and create IP. Develophardware innovations that are both differentiated and defensible strengtheningKohlers leadership in wellness.
• Stay ahead. Continuously exploreadvancements in sensing control and environmental systems to inform whatcomes next.
• Communicate withclarity. Deliver focused technically grounded insights that acceleratedecisions and de-risk execution.
